Charlotte Jewerly Store Robbery video, Owner did not fire weapon?

owner did not fire weapon during Jewerly store robbery after being beat down. Was the weapon empty, was a round not chambered, did he just chicken out on pulling the trigger, or was the safety on and he forgot. Anyway he and his family is very lucky. Worth watching this one all the way through...

The police are not there to protect you from crime, they are there to arrest the guy after the crime has been committed, assuming they find him. It is your responsibility to protect yourself and your family.

Definitely a training issue,I will bet that he bought a gun and ammo and probably never fired a round out of it,or if he did fired less than a box of ammo and hasn't shot it since which could be several years

I would rather die with good men than hide with cowardsIf you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans.
Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy."

A fine example of not having what it takes to save your life with the use of deadly force. One needs to know whether or not, one can effectively follow through, and if you can’t you end up taking the beating.

Many people aren't mentally prepared to kill someone. It was either training or lack of will.

I went to a jewelry store to get some silver polish for my tuba and noticed that their back office door was closed and secured by one of those magnetic locks with a keypad for entry. Then again, this was one of the chain places that probably has established protocols.

If this guy doesn't have the guts to shoot this thug to protect his store and HIMSELF (and his family), he needs to sell it and buy something he can use....like bandages. He needs to get rid of it because next time (and I am sure after this there WILL be a next time once the criminals see this) the thug may take it and use it on him and his family. I am surprised that the thug didn't do it this time.

If one is willing to use lethal force for self defense and they haven't come to terms with the possibility of shooting and killing a BG, they shouldn't be carrying a weapon. I came to that realization years ago. I have seen too many people victimized and killed not to know it happens. I refuse to be a helpless victim. I want at least a fighting chance.

I'm sure getting beaten senseless and robbed has made them realize that, but the majority of people with firearms probably don't. While understanding the many issues that come with owning and carrying a firearm is the responsible thing to do, it isn't the required thing to do.

there are so many FAILS in this robbery its not funny.... the first fail is out of three people only one was fighting back. the other two went on coffee break

What the heck was he doing at 09 : 50 coming at the bad guy unarmed after he'd just been pepper sprayed and pummeled with brass knuckles! Seven seconds later he arms himself, points the pistol and fails. 09 : 52 the assailant should be down or carrying some lead out the door.
